This study presents an observer-based anti-windup robust proportional–integral–derivative controller with state estimator method for damped outrigger structure using magneto-rheological damper to mitigate the seismic response. In this approach, full-order Kalman observer is designed for estimating the states of the damped outrigger system from the feedback of the system output with optimum observer gain. However, due to the co...

In earlier days, the only way to resist the lateral loads was to increase the lateral strength of the structure obtained by making larger cross sections and massive buildings. Structural control is one of the solutions and important topics in both points of view of security and comfort in recent years. To reduce the effect of seismic energy, one of the structural forms used is the outrigger. In recent years, supplementary devi...
